Research & Development

Over time, the Group has grown an important network of global collaborations and long-term partnerships with the most prominent research institutes and centres.

A considerable part of the land, know-how and resources owned by Unifrutti is dedicated to the development of the “varieties of tomorrow”, particularly in the Chilean division that continuously experiments with new fruit varieties.

In Chile, Unifrutti R&D is led by the Univiveros nursery, a proprietary research centre that allows the Group to constantly improve and expand its product portfolio.
